Description
Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat Neck Cream Pickup
The Scooped Strat Neck delivers a warm, vintage-focused tone with enhanced midrange articulation that sits perfectly in the neck position for gigging and studio work. This cream-colored pickup bridges classic '50s character with refined modern construction, giving you that scooped, full-bodied neck voice without sacrificing the clarity you need on stage.
Tone & Design
Built with Alnico 5 magnets and an underwound '50s-style design, this pickup produces a naturally compressed, vintage tone with pronounced midrange presence. The extended pole pieces provide increased output and more responsive dynamics across the fretboard, while the slightly higher pole height ensures balanced response when playing near the neck.
Specifications & Construction
The pickup measures 6.13k DC Resistance at the neck position, delivering warm output suitable for both clean and overdriven tones. Wired with a single conductor cloth cable, it maintains the vintage aesthetic and construction integrity expected from a high-quality replacement pickup.
